books by Savas Beatie     books:       ONE CONTINUOUS FIGHT: The Retreat from Gettysburg and the Pursuit of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, July ...10 reviews Eric J. Wittenberg, J. David Petruzzi, ... Savas Beatie, 2008 A great book that still needs an editor before going to its 2nd edition The Union Army in the Civil War provides a tremendous example of how an institution can survive its own imperfections and turn itself into a successful organization. It was not easy, and it took awhile. Corruption and indolence under the Buchanan administration were endemic. Incompetence prevailed after the cream of the officer corps defected to the Confederacy. As with the present ...             A Guide to the Battles of the American Revolution13 reviews Theodore P. Savas, J. David Dameron Savas Beatie, 2006 One of the First American Revolution Books You Should Purchase I'm about half way through the book... I highly recommend this book as one of your first purchases if you need a refresher course or planning on studying the American Revolution... Gives a great overview of the war on both sides... For the most part its unbiased... Also has further reading recommendations of specific battles after each discussion has some nicely detailed maps as well... If your ...             Shiloh and the Western Campaign of 186214 reviews Savas Beatie, 2007 Shiloh Battle History Personalized I would highly recommend this book. Being a novice at Civil War history this one opened my eyes on this little reported or storied second large battle of the War of the Rebellion. One can find many parallels on events of present day. Such as what happened to the major players (generals) after the battle. Had leaders listened to the likes of the newspaper reporters of the day (substitute NY Times ...             ULTIMATE INTERACTIVE BASIC TRAINING WORKBOOK, THE: What You Must Know to Survive and Thrive in Boot Camp4 reviews Sgt. Michael Volkin Savas Beatie, 2007 Makes a great gift for someone going into any branch of the military I gave this book as a gift to a friend who was going into the military and was told it was a very useful gift. It answered a lot of questions and eliminated a lot of anxiety. If you know of anyone considering, or recently making the commitment, then this book is a strong recommendation. They SHOULD be handing these out in the recruiting offices!             MAJOR GENERAL ROBERT E RODES OF TH ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA: A Biography3 reviews Darrell L Collins Savas Beatie, 2008 Very well done! During the Civil War, it was only two promotions from command of a regiment to command of a division. Assuming you were not killed or crippled, two promotions in four years of war seems an easy project. Without a West Point education, a powerful patron and backing of a major state the second promotion was almost impossible to secure. This was even truer in the Army of Northern Virginia, the ...             The Ultimate Basic Training Guidebook: Tips, Tricks, and Tactics for Surviving Boot Camp50 reviews Michael Volkin Savas Beatie, 2005 Incredible This book has helped me in so many ways. I knew nothing about the military before I left for boot camp. Now, I feel I am completely ready. The book has an easy to understand fitness routine and told me what to expect mentally from a drill sergeant, even the other recruits. This book even contains a packing list so I know exactly what to pack for boot camp. Before I was scared to leave for ...             SARATOGA: A Military History of the Decisive Campaign of the American Revolution John F. Luzader Savas Beatie, 2008 The months-long 1777 Saratoga campaign was one of the most decisive of the entire Revolutionary War. The crushing British defeat prompted France to recognize the American colonies as an independent nation, declare war on England, and commit money, ships, arms, and men to the rebellion. John Luzader's impressive Saratoga: A Military History of the Decisive Campaign of the American Revolution is the first all-encompassing objective account of ...             Those Damned Black Hats! The Iron Brigade in the Gettysburg Campaign Lance Herdegen Savas Beatie, 2008 The Iron Brigade--an all-Western outfit famously branded as The Iron Brigade of the West--served out their enlistments entirely in the Eastern Theater. Hardy men were these soldiers from Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan, who waged war beneath their unique black Hardee Hats on many fields, from Brawner's Farm during the Second Bull Run Campaign all the way to Appomattox. In between were memorable combats at South Mountain, Antietam, ...             The Maps of Gettysburg: The Gettysburg Campaign, June 3 - July 13, 186323 reviews Bradley Gottfried Savas Beatie, 2007 Maps of Gettysburg Let's face it, grognards can never get enough maps. Even small engagements need lots of maps to understand, alongside the text. This book is incredible: the maps are clear and well marked, the text is quite good and is well written. If you had this book alone you would have a better grasp on the battle than the small minority of people. I wish it had times on it, that's my only gripe, and of ...             Once a Marine: An Iraq War Tank Commander's Inspirational Memoir of Combat, Courage,and Recovery Nick Popaditch, Mike Steere Savas Beatie, 2008 May 6, 1986: Nick Popaditch arrives at the Receiving Barracks, Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego, California. April 9, 2003: An AP photographer captures a striking image seen around the world of the Gunny Sergeant smoking a victory cigar in his tank, the haunting statue of Saddam Hussein hovering in the background. Popaditch is immortalized forever as "The Cigar Marine." April 6, 2004: The tanker fights heroically in the battle for ...             Champion Hill: Decisive Battle for Vicksburg21 reviews Timothy B. Smith Savas Beatie, 2006 Maps and more Maps I am what is commonly referred to as a Civil War buff, what ever that means, and I feel compelled to write you about the work of Timothy B. Smith. My biggest frustration about a lot of books on the civil is the lack of good quality maps that allows the reader to get a sense of who was where and what was happening on the battlefield. How one could write an account of a battle with out good maps ...             THE ELEMENTARY COMMON SENSE OF THOMAS PAINE: An Interactive Adaptation for All Ages3 reviews Mark Wilensky Savas Beatie, 2007 Perfect Connection for my Students As a 5th grade teacher that has to teach all subject areas to a self-contained classroom, I am always trying to find a way to link lessons from various subjects together. For Social Studies I am required to teach American history from the early colonies through the Revolutionary War. I ran across this book and asked my school librarian if she could buy a few copies to see if I could use ...             The Quest For the Lost Roman Legions: Discovering the Varus Battlefield19 reviews Tony Clunn Savas Beatie, 2005 Excellent Major Clunn deserves credit for a well-written narrative - he does equally well in recounting his own explorations and in spinning out (admittedly) speculative history. To denigrate his speculations as "historical fiction" is nonsense. All of the accounts of Varus, Arminius and this battle are almost entirely speculative (fictitious, I guess) -- for example, the expensive fiction of the ...             GUNS OF INDEPENDENCE: The Siege of Yorktown, 17819 reviews Jerome Greene Savas Beatie LLC, 2005 The Guns of Independence Highly regarded scholar of the Western Frontier Indian Wars, Jerome A. Greene has applied his wealth of knowledge in military operations, his impeccable research skills, and his fluid prose style to this excellent book on the siege of Yorktown, 1781. I recommend reading the extensive and informative appendix which covers the archeology of the Yorktown Battlefield as well as the equipment and ...             Plenty of Blame to Go Around: Jeb Stuart's Controversial Ride to Gettysburg19 reviews Eric J. Wittenberg, J. David Petruzzi Savas Beatie, 2006 Definitive account of two things -- Stuart's ride and 140 years of postmortem analysis As a history of Stuart's epic ride, this book has no peer. As even-handed historiography of the critical aftermath, echoing for well over a century, it also no peer. I have two trivial criticisms: 1) the title isn't quite accurate, I think -- however many people were in the decision loop during those critical days, Stuart surely must have realized, at some point, that he had brought his ...             INDIAN WAR VETERANS: Memories of Army Life and Campaigns in the West, 1864-18986 reviews Jerome Greene Savas Beatie, 2007 Amazing First-hand Accounts from Indian War Veterans Christmas at Fort Robinson, 1882 as experienced by Martin J. Weber, 1st sergeant, Troop H, Fifth U.S. Cavalry: "Little children of the army were just as anxious for the advent of Santa Claus as the somewhat more highly favored little ones in the midst of the civilized East[...]We got safely down the Breakneck [...]arriving at the fort about 2 o'clock the afternoon of the 24th. When I passed ...             BUILDING THE GREEN MACHINE: Don Warren and Sixty Years with the World Champion Cavaliers Drum and Bugle Corps5 reviews Colt Foutz Savas Beatie, 2008 Fun read for any band/choir/drama geek Anyone who's been part of something bigger -- band, choir, theater, or another really close-knit group -- will find something familiar in the tales told in "Building the Green Machine." I laughed out loud at all the antics these seemingly disciplined young men got up to on tour. If you're already a drum corps devotee, this gives you the inside scoop on the Cavaliers and the many other corps ...             Benedict Arnold's Army: The 1775 American Invasion of Canada During the Revolutionary War5 reviews Arthur Lefkowitz Savas Beatie, 2008 The Definitive Account of the 1775 Invasion of Canada Author Arthur Lefkowitz's account of Benedict Arnold's army marching through the Maine wilderness to attack the city of Quebec during the waning months of 1775 may very well be the definitive account of this expedition. For those, me included, who would not fit the definition of a historian this book may go into a little more detail than what may interest you. Nevertheless, the book will be ...             Paradigm24 reviews Robert Taylor Savas Beatie, 2006 An amazingly intriging book Reviewed by Paige Lovitt for Reader Views (1/07) When twin scientists Alex and Nicholas Shepard and their wives accidentally discover a hidden room at the Biltmore Estate they find a mysterious Egyptian box and ancient documents. Their friend Gabriel is the caretaker for the estate. He comes from a family of great wealth and is dedicated to using it to make a difference in the world. Gabriel ...             Playing with the Enemy: A Baseball Prodigy, a World at War, and a Field of Broken Dreams97 reviews Gary Moore Savas Beatie, 2006 Heart-warming tribute to the author's father This captivating book is more than a baseball story or a history lesson; it is a story of family relationships, difficult choices, and unconditional love. This book would be in the hands of my "reluctant middle school readers" if I was still teaching.
